GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay (10-6-1, 5-3 HL) men's soccer senior Tony Walls (Wauwatosa, Wis.) has been
named the Horizon League Player of the Year while three of his teammates were
recognized by fellow Horizon League coaches for their performance throughout
the season. Stuart Grable (Neenah,
Wis.) and Andrew Stone (Green Bay,
Wis.) were Second Team All-League selections while freshman Kirby Allen (Appleton, Wis.) was named
to the All-Newcomer Team, announced by the league office Monday.

Walls
is the third player in the history of the Green Bay men's soccer program to be
named the conference Player of the Year and second in three years to receive
the honor for the Phoenix. This year marks the fourth consecutive season Green
Bay has had four players represented on the Horizon League postseason teams and
ninth year in a row a Phoenix player has been named a First Team All-League
selection in Walls.

"I
think Tony is clearly the most complete, best player we have in the
conference," said first year head coach Kris
Kelderman. "He is a very talented player who's very consistent, plays with
a lot of heart and one that we can count on every day to be the best player on
the field."

Walls
picks up his third consecutive First Team All-League honor after leading Green
Bay with six goals and 17 points while starting every game this season. Walls'
six goals are ranked seventh among league players and his five assists are tied
for third-best in the league. His freshman year (2008), Walls was a Second Team
All-League selection in addition to being named Newcomer of the Year.

"This
is a great personal accomplishment. Even though I didn't have the most goals
and assists in the league it just goes to show there are other things I can do
to that are effective for our team," said Walls. "It's just another step along
our journey, we have important games coming up and I'm just focusing on that
right now."

Senior
captain Stuart Grable (Neenah, Wis.) received the first All-League selection of
his career as he was named to the Second Team. The most versatile player for
the Phoenix, Grable leads Green Bay and the league with six assists on the
year.

"Stuart
could have played in numerous spots for us this year," Kelderman said of
Stuart's versatility. "He may not have been thrilled at first to play left back
for us but he handles the position very well and knows his versatility helps
our team be the best it can be."

Like
Grable, Green Bay defender Andrew Stone (Green Bay, Wis.) earned Second Team
All-League honors for the first time in his collegiate career. The junior
anchors the Phoenix defense, helping guide it to four shutouts on the year.

"Andrew
has done a great job all year at keeping tabs on our opponents' biggest scoring
threat," said Kelderman. "I'm excited for Andrew for next year because I think
he's a guy that has a lot of potential to get better."

For
the sixth year in a row, Green Bay is represented on the conference
All-Newcomer Team as freshman Kirby Allen (Appleton, Wis.) received the honor.
While treating back pain all season, the 5-10 forward scored four goals for the
Phoenix including a game-winning double overtime goal against Dayton Sept. 18.
Allen also sealed Green Bay's 2-0 win over Wisconsin Oct. 19.

"The
fact that I still don't think he's 100 percent fit from an injury that dates
back to this summer is promising for his future," said Kelderman. "We look
forward to big things from him as he gains more experience and gets to 100
percent."
